Jaime watched Pamela Drake's father reread the single typed page she had given him. "Maybe you should order a drink," he said, releasing a huge sigh, his eyes still relentlessly scanning. Seeking faults, footholds for assault. A thinly misted glass of ice water stood untouched before her on its cocktail napkin. Drake's purely professional scotch and soda was half dead. At his beckoning a splay-breasted cooch hostess jiggled over to swap empties for fulls. Jaime did not want anything from the Object getting inside of her, but her throat was arid and she knew the way Drake's brain worked. A libation might signal some rough truce. Just this once. That was all she needed. "White wine," she said. "Dry." Stay generic. One glass. Give a little that you might gain everything. If she had been out boozing with Pamela, outrageous new drinks in funny colors would have been the ground rule. Fifty-six, without a thread of gray, was Pavel Drake of Drake Polyvinyl Products Inc. He dyes his hair, she thought, suddenly shocked. Any vanity implied a crumb of human feeling somewhere in the convolutions of this man's mean, small mind. In this place of hopelessness, where women were literally Objectified, it was a spark of hope. Jaime needed hope. Because if the man sitting across from her did not affix his signature to that piece of paper, she was going to die.
